Colt McCoy Admits to Just having fun out there

Facing a defense that knew he had to pass, backup Colt McCoy was sacked four times during his brief relief appearance for Weeden.

“I was just trying to not get knocked out,” said McCoy, whose 2011 season ended when he suffered a concussion in Pittsburgh. He hadn’t thrown a pass since then in a regular-season game until a wobbly Weeden went out on Sunday.

“We were pretty far behind at that point when I got in, so I assumed we would start throwing,” McCoy said. “It took a couple of series getting used to the pocket — hadn’t had any reps, hadn’t sat back there in a while — so getting a feel for how those guys were playing, I maybe missed a couple of throws early.

“A couple of times I just threw the ball in the dirt to let those guys (teammates) rest. We were throwing the ball down the field and those guys were tired.”

I'm rooting for Colt and I don't know why. He's gotta be a better backup qb than Whitehurst right?

Remember when people said Weeden was more pro ready than RGIII?

@ a 29-year old "project"

But he's so mature. He played baseball so he knows what it takes to be a pro.
